Dry seasons bring fire risks all over the world. Caution must be exercised in the prevention and control of such infernos. It is worth noting that for many years Yosemite National Parc in California did all it could to prevent them. However, today they manage fires carefully and successfully, and, although rather alarming when you fly over them, are an integral part of the eco-sustainability programmes in place at this magnificent monument. Perhaps we need a more 'focused, coordinated and consolidated approach' to bush fire issues in Ghana. Photo courtesy P. Mawuli Nyekodzi
